Of course, the next common component you often need is capacitors. I normally only use a few selected values. My cabinets are divided into standard, and electrolytic caps. The capacitors are generally one or two values to a drawer. Below is the layout of my cabinets, just to get you started. And, please note a couple values may seem odd. They got there because I either had a lot, or had a specific use.
